• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Good bless our law enforcement personnel and may they and their families be safe.
People say stupid things, when they are drunk. I'm sure most people. That cant handle their liquor say regrettable things. That they don't remember. The next day. I remember Mary Lou Retton's DUI arrest. It was very ammusing.

The bigger issue is drink driving. People should be charged with a far more significant charge.

Attempted negligent homicide would be my choice.

It's also more than a bit questionable to assume that a nurse in Texas is an ACAB-style leftist.

It's weird. As if people never had reasons other than "leftism" to hate cops. First there is the racism that is common. (Don't know if the person is non-white. Didn't read article or watch video.) Second there is the reality that a significant fraction of cops seem to be on the job because they like having authority over people. Third there is the pattern of police corruption and police inaction, but most importantly:

People being caught red handed for blatantly breaking the law sometimes lash out at and during their arrests. This lady sounds like she was pretty wasted.

The topic being “random drunk lady says dumb thing”
And your point being that because you think Trump may have gotten away with saying things you think are dumb, the person in the article should also get away with saying dumb things? Either you are suggesting that it is okay for Trump to get away with such rhetoric, or you are just playing a game of 'whataboutism.'

My dad's kind of an old school John Birch type, so, prior to MAGA, he was about as conservative and authoritarian as you'd find outside of a militia (MAGA has since eclipsed him). But he grew up in Brooklyn in the 50's and 60's and he'll still qualify his otherwise unquestionably pro-police stances with "except NYPD, those guys are jerks".

MOD HAT ON

This thread has had a cleanup of some flaming and off topic posts.​

Blaming a drunk nurse's actions on a political group is against the rules. It is considered flaming said political group.

This thread is being reopened.​
